Fernandez sings the aria "Ebben? Ne andrò lontana", from Act I of Catalani's opera "La Wally." The piece is a haunting reverie on the theme of traveling alone and far from home.
This performance plays a prominent role in the 1981 film "Diva", a 1981 French thriller directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix. It eschewed the realist mood of the 1970s French cinema and instead adopted a colorful, melodic style, later described as cinéma du look.

I had not heard that since 1981, and remember it as if it were yesterday.
Good movie. I liked Gorodish’s music better though.
That is a memorable motion picture.
Freaky. But memorable.
A great movie - the little Vietnamese street girl stole the show…
The entire soundtrack — Vladimir Cosma — is fabulous.
Thank you.
The only French film I ever liked.
